Prostate Cancer Support

Prostate Cancer is not only a scary medical experience; it can tear at the emotional bonds in your relationship. I know, because I was diagnosed and treated for prostate cancer in 2006. I understand from both personal and professional experience how challenging the diagnosis, treatment, and what comes afterwards can be for both individuals and couples.

As an experienced couples counselor and prostate cancer survivor, I have special qualifications to help you address the intimacy issues in yourself and in your relationship.

I can help you laugh again, love again, and feel that warmth and exhilaration that intimacy with the one you love can provide, even if some aspects of your body’s function are changed.

I can also help you deal with the grief at what you may have lost.

There is no need to go through prostate cancer alone.

I've been there. I can help.

A Woman’s Perspective on Prostate Cancer

I know the fear and helplessness that comes from my husband being diagnosed and treated for prostate cancer.  As a couples counselor and wife of a prostate cancer survivor, I can help you navigate the challenges that this disease brings to you, your relationship, and the man you love.
